TeacherLED
Interactive Whiteboard Resources in Math. In line with the title of this site all of the resources on this on this site are designed to help the teacher lead the lesson. They do not attempt to provide any instruction. Their purpose is to allow the teacher to explain, demonstrate and provide examples to further the students’ understanding of the lesson. By not circumventing the teacher’s role, as many resources do, they allow the teacher to provide as much instruction and examples as he/she deems necessary at an appropriate pace.
Purple Math
Purplemath's algebra lessons are written with the student in mind. These lessons emphasize the practicalities rather than the technicalities, demonstrating dependable techniques, warning of likely "trick" questions, and pointing out common mistakes. The lessons are cross-referenced to help you find related material, and a "search" box is on every page to help you find what you're looking for.
Math Warehouse
Interactive math lessons with definitions, examples, and worksheets. Updated monthly.
The Official Website for Pi
With the use of computers, Pi has been calculated to over 1 trillion digits past the decimal. Pi is an irrational number meaning it will continue infinitely without repeating. The symbol for pi was first used in 1706 by William Jones, but was popular after it was adopted by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in 1737.

Winplot
Winplot is a general-purpose plotting utility, which can draw (and animate) curves and surfaces presented in a variety of formats. Winplot is a FREE windows based graphing program. The software is unbelievably powerful; it has (really useful) features I have never seen in any other graphics software. What's especially swell is that with a little grounding it is remarkably easy to use. The only downside I've experienced with the software is that it does tend to crash a little more frequently than your typical windows-based programs. Luckily, those of us who are enculturated in the windows environment have developed thick skins when it comes to crashing programs, so given the free price of the software the crashing is something that is easily tolerated, Speaking of free... I've developed the following videos to help you learn the software. The first 3 videos are intended to be watched first. The other videos can be watched pretty much in any order although you definitely want to work through video 6 before watching video 7. Click here for the Winplot Tutorial Videos
